In the Spotlight ~ ‘The Gratitude Series’

Happy New Year my lovelies… I thought I’ll start the year with ‘The Gratitude Series’… and am surely hoping you’ll join in…

I have a lot in life to be thankful for.. that’s not to say.. I don’t have my fair share of problems!! But when I count my blessings, their magnitude makes the bag of problems seem measly!! 



First of all… ‘Thank you’ to all you lovely readers who visit me here in blog land. When I started this blog in Jan 2009, it was a way to document the décor happenings in my home. Today I’m thankful to some awesome friends I’ve made via blogger, to some amazing readers who trust me with the queries and emails, who share their homes and their lives with me. I’m truly touched and honoured. So thank you… for making every minute I spend on blogger worth while.



I’m thankful for amazing family & friends who understands my OCD (Obsessive Cleaning Disorder), and who often give me the opportunity to fulfil my little décor dreams *smiles*… Who appreciate my little doings along the way, and often give me celebrity status *grins*



I’m so grateful that God made peacocks, and lotus’, roses, and daffodils, sunshines and twinkling stars that look like fairy lights. The list here is endless…, so I’ll only mention the gift of colour… that makes everything so beautiful. Oh.. and how did He manage to give us the miracle of the mountains, the seas, the valleys, the hills, the green patches, the deserts *sigh*.. another endless list!!





Two days in the emergency section and nearly spending two weeks next to my Gran in hospital. I’m thankful that we found my Gran on 23rd Dec in hospital and that she is recovering.. Thankful for this opportunity and for the realisation that the difference between life & death is less than a second… I’ve been procrastinating for two or three years now… and finally realised that I must – must fulfil my dream project in 2012. I’m totally running out of time!! And am thankful for the bunch of friends who’ve agreed to hold my hand.


I truly have a lot more to be thankful for.. And I’m sure you do too… So go on.. do a little ‘Gratitude’ post.. and join in this series, open till 1st February, 2011
